Hello and welcome to 5th grade!! This is my first year back in 5th grade after a 4-year adventure teaching 3rd grade. I'm so excited to be back teaching in a grade level that I absolutely love! This is my 14th year teaching and my 9th year at Anna McDonald.

While I have a strong passion for teaching, some other things about me that you might like to know are:

1. I have a dog named Charley who is very loyal and lovable.

2. I love baseball and spend most of my summer nights watching the Joliet Slammers play. I host players, which I have been doing for the past 5 seasons.

3. I love reading and hope to pass that passion on to all of my students.

4. Dunkin Donuts coffee gives me life.

5. Even though I don't have kids of my own, my niece and nephews live right around the corner from me and consider me their "Aunt Mom".
